The Break Up

2007May 21
Keynote by David H. Hansson at RailsConf 2007 Portland, Oregon introducing Rails 2.
It started off with Chad Fowler, organizer of RailsConf, welcoming the enormous crowd. He encouraged the people to donate for charity because he felt that this would alleviate some of the bad rep that Rails lovers get for being, in his words, arrogant bastards.
If everyone gave $75, we can make a loud noise from this event.
I didn’t saw that much arrogant bastards in the house nor I would describe it with the words from a slide from Adam Keys that said “You are surrounded by idiots” ;) So there’s a lot to learn for all you not so arrogant bastards out there;) Get real with the arrogant bastard t-shirt:
If you think the arrogant bastard t-shirt is for sissies you can also go for this one:
I made no picture of the back of the t-shirt because it’s white, it’s not stuffed with logos or something. That means you are not limited to wear it only when painting your house.
For all attendees to RailsConf Europe later this year in Berlin: I hope that Chad Fowler plays the Ukulele again – that was awesome!
Here are some images of and off the conference:
first of all – jetlag as usual;)
Thomas at his tutorial. The guy in the front is Sam Stephenson (prototype)...
...but not only Sam was joining the talk

Finally found guitar heaven at Apple Music Inc. Dont start counting ;)
Sneakin Out playing at the First Zoo Brew
The Accordion Guy. Plays everything from Britney Spears to AC/DC.
and finally a lot of good web2.0 business ideas at Powell’s Books
Check out the RailsConf wiki where you will find the slides of almost all presentations.
FF mt by Erik Spiekermann
2007May 09
FF mt is an economic typeface accomodating the spelling reform of the internet-chat-sms generation.
There are examples all around like bklyn, razr or rbk or this “future” traffic sign (I love the typeface of the right sign):
btw: to learn german will get even harder … or easier … wht d y thnk
The font is free so you can download it at fontfont.com and start dropping vowels;)

wollzelle is sparkling with joy
2007May 01
We’re very excited to welcome two new people to the wollzelle team: Dieter Komendera (kommen) and Philipp Markovics (joe), formerly sparklingstudios.
I’m glad that I met them by accident at the metalab. Originally we were looking for one new guy, but if you have the chance to get two great people who perfectly fit in the culture of wollzelle—it’s a no-brainer.
We’re thrilled to have them on board! Welcome joe and kommen.
